Huge congratulations on his first call up to Daniel Fernandez. What an incredible guy Daniel is and this could not be more well deserved both on and off the board.
We are immensely proud of you.
Go England!!

Played (as black) in the 4NCL today. My opponent played this early bishop move in the exchange French. She was prepped for it but it certainly surprised me.

The crowds were out earlier in the evening celebrating Kingston's glorious achievements in the @4NCL. Simply the best!

Of course I wore a Star Wars T-shirt on #MayThe4th for the final round of the 4NCL season
I lost so I ended on only 3.5/9 but opposition was very strong!
